'Jack here. Anyone got any ideas about how to defeat insomnia. Went to bed at midnight last night. Slept about 2 hours. Woke up. Been awake ever since. This has been going on for weeks now. Driving me fucking mad.

[edit] beware how you utilise them though as people may think youve bin got by a peter-file

For the record, have tried:
Dope, drink, Nytol, herbal sleepers, sex, masturbation, staying up watching shite on tv till exhausted, jogging, cycling, b3ta (which was very unsuccessful), work, shiatsu, Alexander technique, Reiki and more masturbation...

Stop playing computer games before bed, or watching tv. Read a book instead. You'll be so bored you'll sleep like a log.
Edit - and give your room a good airing, get rid of all the dust and stuff. Hang your duvet and pillows outside for a while. Getting rid of dustmites works wonders for sleep.
sorry - do I sound like your mother? Please say no..

You could try asking your doctor. If you snore that doesn't help. Some people use those nose thingies that swimmers wear - gets more oxygen to you while you sleep so you sleep better. Never tried them though. My sleeping problems are all caused by having small children..

but someone told me this and it worked for me.. when you go to bed lie in it in the OPPOSITE direction you normally do. makes it seem like a different bed due to the way you lie when you sleep and the mattress etc taking body shape.
i also now only ever sleep on a matress on the floor which seems to help me a lot
